Arandathon!...

About 95% of the DCs out there could his job this year then....

Delpit has been in a slump most of the year, not just post Auburn. ...

We lossed players from time to time. Almost every team does. But nothing that's happened this year explains what we see. ...

You don't think the effort was there in Austin or vs UF, Auburn, or Bama? IMO, that's an isolated thing and doesn't begin to explain the disturbing trend on D under Dave. At this point, I'm of the persuasion that something is fundamentally flawed in Aranda's scheme. And the more astute OCs ...

What's your definition of "elite?" Every team I listed except us in '06 won the natty. That's not elite? FTR. we're probably ahead of Clemson in 4Y recruiting. We have talent. Lots of talent on D. If Dave's scheme is so talent intensive, maybe he needs to rethink some things at the colle...

Why do you think he wasn't upset? He mentioned it post game....

What do I win? (Deep breath but here goes): 1) Clemson '18 2) UF '08 3) Us in '06 or '07....

[quote]Tepper, 2008, 2013...I think this one might be the worst of all. At least 2008 could stop the run.[/quote] 2008 (only Curtis returning in the secondary) and 2013 (following the early exodus from 2012, i.e., Mingo, San, Logan, Minter, Reid) had a valid excuse. There are none with this D....

Like 3 teams in our peer group?...

They are not mutually exclusive. ...

Shelvin is a full-grown man-boss. ...

You left out that the AC was turned off in the locker room. ...

Where's Josh Jasper when you need him!...

I would be a little surprised if Brennan can chunk it farther and faster than Mett. Harris had a strong arm as well....

Great discussion in this thread. To the OP's question, maybe. Seems like the football pendulum has certainly swung the offense's way. But beyond the rules, offenses are more diverse and exotic and creative than they were in the past such that it's really hard to engineer a defense that can ha...

Yes it hurts. Harris was relatively inexperienced at the start of the season so by now he would by have some games under his belt, the game would have slowed down for him. ...

I didn't include the profanity part. I'm sure you could find it on YouTube. I assumed most fans would recall that....

Our '11 D was about as perfect of a modern D as I've seen. Another factor is that offenses come in all shapes and sizes; not easy engineering a D that can line up with all of them....

Did Gary think it immature of Saban when he told McCarron to calm down in the Swamp in '11? Asking for Verne. ...
